Mrs. Maria Easterling
I believe that all children have the potential to do great things. As a
teacher, it is my pleasure to provide my students with a myriad of
opportunities in order to bring out their full potential.
I am a product of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, having gone to John G.
DuPuis Elementary and Palm Springs Junior High. I graduated from
Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High in 1991. I completed a Bachelor's Degree in
Elementary Education with a concentration in Early Childhood from Florida
International University in 1994. I earned a Master's Degree in Professional
Studies in Teaching and Learning from the University of Miami in 2000. I am
also an Early Childhood- Generalist National Board Certified Teacher.
This is my seventeenth year as a Miami-Dade County Public School teacher. I
have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, First, Second and Third Grade.
My husband and I have three sons. Matthew is a fifth grader at our school's
Main Campus. Andrew is a third grade student also at the Main Campus.
Joshua, four, loves being read to, drawing and has so
much fun during imaginative play! He is starting Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten
this year!
I am still amazed at how your children will blossom throughout their years in
school. As parents, I am sure that you marvel daily at your child's
developmental milestones. Together, we will give your child the world.

Teaching has been a rewarding and challenging experience. Each day, I look
forward to interacting with my students and learning as much from them as
they do from me.
I was born and raised in South Florida. I graduated from Hialeah-Miami
Lakes Senior High in 1996 and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary
Education from FIU in 2000. In 2003, I earned a Master’s Degree in Reading
Education. In 2004, I became certified by the National Board of Professional
Teaching Standards in Literacy: Reading/Language Arts. I have worked
for the National Board during the summers and assisted in training teachers
from across the country. In 2009, I also coauthored two teacher resource
books for Carson-Dellosa Publishing, Inc. - Step Up to Writing:Primary
and Step Up to Writing:Intermediate.
This is my twelfth year teaching in Miami-Dade County. I began my career
at Palm Springs North Elementary and was part of the inaugural faculty at
BGEC. I have taught second, third, and fourth grade.
My husband and I are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl.
I look forward to working with you and your child! Together we will make
this a successful and productive school year.
